NorthCare, an Oklahoma City, Oklahoma-based organization, offers individuals, kids, and families complete mental health services. Their goal is to provide nondiscriminatory care to those dealing with crises, trauma, mental illness, and drug abuse. They are dedicated to establishing a caring atmosphere where everyone, regardless of financial situation, may get the treatment they need. In order to ensure that services are accessible to everyone, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, military status, or any other protected group, this institution places a strong emphasis on inclusion.

NorthCare’s Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program is one of its main offerings. This all-encompassing strategy helps people overcome addictions, especially those involving alcohol and opioids, by combining behavioral therapy with FDA-approved drugs. But MAT may also be used to other types of drug use problems. By combining medical and psychological therapy, MAT at NorthCare aims to alleviate withdrawal symptoms while also offering long-term recovery alternatives.

Additionally, NorthCare provides an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults, adolescents, and families dealing with co-occurring mental health and drug misuse issues. This program is customized to meet the specific requirements of each participant and usually lasts 12 to 16 weeks. The IOP offers a broad variety of services, including medication management, individual and group therapy, psychiatric examinations, physical and mental health care coordination, and support groups. It also has age- and gender-specific courses. In order to help clients on their road to recovery, NorthCare also takes care of housing, jobs, and other necessities.

By providing walk-in services throughout business hours and caring for people even if they are unable to pay, the organization broadens its reach. NorthCare’s range of trauma-informed services, created to suit the needs of Oklahomans across central Oklahoma and surrounding counties, reflects the organization’s dedication to inclusion and holistic rehabilitation.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has listed NorthCare, attesting to their adherence to federal guidelines for the treatment of mental illness and drug abuse.
